Beck (3-0) earned the win in Thursday's 1-0 victory over the Diamondbacks. He allowed two hits without walking a batter while striking out three over four scoreless innings.
Beck turned in a solid bulk-relief outing, blanking the Arizona offense for four innings after Scott Alexander worked as the opener for San Francisco. The 27-year-old Beck, a rookie, has pitched well in his last six appearances for the big-league club, posting a sterling 0.60 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB across 11.1 innings during that span.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Collects win Sunday
Rotowire
Beck (2-0) earned the extra-innings win Sunday over the Red Sox, walking one and striking out three over two scoreless and hitless innings.
Beck was called up from Triple-A Sacramento earlier in the day to provide some length out of the bullpen with Anthony DeSclafani (elbow) landing on the injured list. Beck did his job well, working the 10th and 11th innings before Joc Pederson's bases-loaded walk forced in the winning run in the bottom of the 11th. Beck has a 2.94 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB through 52 innings over 21 appearances at the major-league level this year. His role is likely to be versatile while he's with the Giants, so he could have some chances to vulture wins if he gets middle-innings assignments.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Brought back from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Giants recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
Though he'll be joining the 26-man active roster as a replacement for injured starting pitcher Anthony DeSclafani (elbow), Beck won't necessarily be the Giants' first choice to fill the opening in the rotation. After DeSclafani's injury kept him from pitching in Saturday's 3-2 win over Boston, Sean Manaea came on behind opener Ryan Walker to toss 4.2 scoreless innings out of the bullpen, thus making Manaea the most logical candidate to enter the rotation when a fifth starter is next needed Thursday versus Arizona. Since Manaea won't be available for a few days, however, Beck will give the Giants some extra coverage in the bullpen in the meantime.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday.
Beck has been solid out of the bullpen for the Giants this season with a 3.06 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through 50 innings, but he'll return to the minors to clear a spot on the roster for Anthony DeSclafani (shoulder). As long as Beck keeps performing as well as he has been, there's a good chance he returns to San Francisco later this summer.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Returns from thumb injury
Rotowire
Beck has pitched twice since recovering from a cut on his thumb, covering 4.1 scoreless innings while allowing four hits and two walks with two strikeouts.
Beck left his June 25 appearance versus the Diamondbacks with a cut on his thumb, but it was always expected to be a minor issue. He's been an effective long-relief option for the Giants this season, pitching to a 3.20 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB through 45 innings across 18 appearances. Beck could continue to work in bullpen games and whenever the Giants need a reliever to cover multiple frames.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Dealing with cut on thumb
Rotowire
Beck exited Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks due to a cut on his thumb, Danny Emerman of KNBR 680 San Francisco reports.
Beck wasn't particularly sharp during Sunday's relief appearance, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out one in 2.1 innings. His injury likely contributed to his struggles, although it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss additional time.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Goes four innings for save
Rotowire
Beck allowed three hits and a walk while striking out two over four shutout innings to earn the save in Saturday's 15-0 win over the Dodgers.
This was a smooth outing with plenty of cushion for Beck, who helped the Giants spare their bullpen after they used eight pitchers in Friday's 11-inning contest. This is the second time Beck's gone three-plus innings to earn a save this season. He's been an effective long-relief option for San Francisco with a 3.31 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 30:6 K:BB over 35.1 innings in his first big-league season. He also has a win and a hold through 14 appearances.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Recalled from Sacramento
Rotowire
Beck was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento by the Giants on Saturday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck will take the roster spot of Wilmer Flores after Flores was placed on the injured list with a foot bruise. In his previous appearance with the Giants, Beck allowed two runs -- one earned -- over 4.1 innings versus the Cubs on June 11. He'll be a multi-inning relief option while with the major-league club.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Sent back to minors
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday.
Beck covered 4.1 innings over two relief appearances during the Giants' series with the Cubs this past weekend and wasn't likely to be available for the next couple of days, so San Francisco opted to swap him off the 26-man active roster for a fresh relief arm in Keaton Winn, who was called up from Triple-A. During his upcoming stint with Sacramento, Beck is expected to transition back into a starting role in the event he's needed in the San Francisco rotation later in 2023.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Earns first win
Rotowire
Beck (1-0) allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and a walk over two innings Sunday, striking out two and earning a win over the Cubs.
Beck entered the game in the second inning following the opener John Brebbia. It wasn't the cleanest outing for Beck, as he needed 62 pitches to record just six outs. He allowed a run at the MLB level for the first time since May 22 and now owns a 3.73 ERA with a 28:5 K:BB through 31.1 innings.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Recalled from Sacramento
Rotowire
San Francisco recalled Beck from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Beck will rejoin the Giants as a replacement on the active roster for lefty Alex Wood, who was placed on the 15-day injured list with a back strain. The Giants haven't named formal replacements in the rotation for Wood or Ross Stripling (back), but Sean Manaea should be the top candidate to fill one of those starting roles, while Jakob Junis or Beck look like the top contenders for the other spot. Beck pitched well over three extended relief appearances with San Francisco prior to being sent down to Triple-A and pitched an inning for Sacramento on Saturday before being recalled.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Heads back to Sacramento
Rotowire
The Giants optioned Beck to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday.
Outfielder Austin Slater (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and will join the active roster as a replacement for Beck, who was expendable since the Giants already have three other relievers on hand capable of covering multiple innings in Ryan Walker, Jakob Junis and Sean Manaea. Beck will presumably slot back into the Sacramento rotation after he looked sharp over his final three extended relief appearances with the Giants, covering nine innings and allowing just one run on two hits and no walks while striking out 10.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Sharp in three-inning save
Rotowire
Beck gave up a hit and struck out two over 3.1 scoreless innings to record his first career save in Friday's 15-1 rout of the Brewers.
Milwaukee offered little resistance in this one, and Beck tossed an efficient 33 pitches (26 strikes) to close out the victory. The 26-year-old rookie has held the opposition scoreless in only four of his nine appearances since his promotion in late April, however, and his 4.63 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB through 23.1 innings don't suggest he's going to see regular higher-leverage work any time soon.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Makes major-league debut
Rotowire
Beck allowed four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings in a 9-4 loss to the Mets on Thursday. He did not factor in the decision.
Sean Manaea wore the loss for this one after getting tagged for five runs in the fourth inning. The Giants rallied in the fifth, but Beck ended up giving back all of that progress, though his long-relief outing helped to spare the bullpen. It's possible Beck will be sent back to Triple-A Sacramento in short order after his MLB debut. He posted a 3.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 9:7 K:BB across 13.1 innings with Sacramento prior to his call-up, so it's clear he still needs to work on trimming his walk rate.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Called up Wednesday
Rotowire
Beck was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Evan Webeck of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Beck will join the Giants ahead of their series finale against the Marlins, replacing Alex Wood (hamstring), who was added to the 15-day injured list. Beck had been starting for Sacramento, producing a 3.38 ERA and 1.22 WHIP with nine punchouts over 13.1 innings. Though the Giants have an opening in the rotation with Wood on the shelf, Ross Stripling is expected to get the first chance to replace the southpaw, so Beck may be on hand with the big club as a long-relief option.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Optioned to Sacramento

Beck (ankle) was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Sacramento, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck was removed from a Cactus League appearance this past Sunday after taking a comebacker off his left ankle, but all seems to be well in that regard. The 26-year-old could get the call to the Giants as emergency rotation depth at some point in 2023.

Beck exited Sunday's spring game against the A's after being hit in the left ankle with a comebacker, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.
Beck came out of the bullpen Sunday and delivered 2.2 scoreless frames before exiting the contest. It's unclear if the 26-year-old will be available for his next turn through the rotation, and he should be considered day-to-day until his status is updated.

Giants' Tristan Beck: To start Cactus League opener
Rotowire
Beck will start the Giants' Cactus League opener Saturday against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Sam Long will follow him and is expected to work two frames. Beck, 26, posted an underwhelming 5.25 ERA in 111.1 innings last season between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Sacramento. He has yet to make his MLB debut and will enter the 2023 campaign as emergency depth for San Francisco.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Joins 40-man roster
Rotowire
Beck was added to the Giants' 40-man roster Tuesday.
Beck opened 2022 at Double-A Richmond but quickly earned a promotion to Triple-A Sacramento, where he spent the rest of the season. The 26-year-old struggled after he was moved up a level with a 5.64 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 97:29 K:BB across 97.1 innings with the River Cats.

Giants' Tristan Beck: Earns promotion to Triple-A
Rotowire
Beck was promoted to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Beck struggled at Double-A Richmond with a 5.89 ERA and 1.49 WHIP across 18.1 innings last season, and he finished at Single-A San Jose. After a strong spring training this year, Beck continued his success with a 2.57 ERA across 14 innings to open 2022, which earned him a move to Triple-A. He'll likely have another adjustment period at the highest level of the minors, so he's unlikely to be a major-league option this season.
